Print the creation of a server cluster

On each server in the cluster, Open Server Manager and click Add role ", then, use the Add role Wizard to add the "print and file service" role and any role services required.

Server Manager Help

Check the hardware and infrastructure requirements of the Failover cluster.

Understand the requirements of failover Clusters

The failover cluster function is installed on each server in the cluster.

Install the Failover cluster Function

The network and storage devices used to connect to the cluster.

Prepare hardware before verifying the Failover Cluster

Run the Verify Configuration Wizard on all servers to be added to the cluster to check whether the hardware and hardware settings for the server, network, and storage are compatible with the Failover cluster. You can adjust the hardware or hardware settings as needed, and then re-run the wizard until you pass all tests to get support, you must pass all tests ).

Verify new or existing failover Clusters

Create a Failover cluster.

Create a new failover Cluster

If the Cluster Server is connected to a network that is not used for network communication in the cluster, for example, a network for iSCSI only or for backup only ), configure the network so that it does not allow cluster communication.
Modify the network settings of a Failover Cluster

Run the high availability wizard and specify the printing server role, the name of the cluster printing server, and IP address information that is not automatically provided by DHCP settings.

Configure high availability of services or applications

Configure print settings, for example, to specify printer settings.

Configure the printing settings of the cluster printing server

Test the Failover of the cluster printing server.

Test failover of cluster services or applications

Print the test page on the server from a client.

Before executing this process, check the list: steps in creating a cluster print server. This process describes the last step in the list.

Membership or equivalent identity in the Local Administrators Group is the minimum requirement to complete this process. To view more information about using the appropriate account and group membership, visit the http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink? LinkId = 83477 may be an English link ).

To configure the printing settings for the cluster printing server

If the console tree is collapsed, expand the tree under the cluster to be configured.

Expand "services and applications ".

Right-click the cluster print server for which you want to configure the print settings, and click manage printer ".

The instances on the "failover Cluster Manager" page are displayed, and "Print management" is displayed in the console tree ".

Under print management, click Print Server to find the cluster print server to be configured.

Always perform management tasks on the cluster print server. Do not manage user nodes as print servers.

Right-click the cluster print server and then click "Add Printer ". Follow the instructions in the Wizard to add a printer.

This wizard is the same as the wizard used to add a printer on a non-cluster server.

After configuring the cluster printing server, to disable the instance on the "failover Cluster Manager" interface and "Print Management" in the console tree, click "file ", click exit ".

Other considerations
If the "User Account Control" dialog box appears, confirm that the operation you want to perform is displayed, and click "continue ".

The failover cluster software automatically copies important files, such as print drivers, to each node in the cluster. It uses the disk resources in the Cluster Storage as the locations where these files are stored and supports this replication process. The high availability wizard automatically configures this disk resource as part of the new cluster print server. Do not delete disk resources that are part of the cluster printing server.
